Netflix’s short stint with FMV / chooe-your-own adventure games highlights a perfect case of difficult preservation - all the runtimes are closed source apps, all the data is streamed from a server, and all the logic is held on the server.

Add to that the fact that a lot of these types of non-standard content have low engagement and interest. Which is what ultimately makes preservation and piracy harder. If you had a lot of interest it would be difficult but not impossible to recreate some of the interactive elements around them, and extract/decrypt the video content. But without interest it's more difficult. Also ironically the lack of interest is why these things are being sunsetted in the first place. It's kind of a perfect storm in that they are hard to preserve and there is also low interest in preserving them as well.

And if war breaks out and many countries are crippled (think post-nuclear apocalypse) that'll help that case too. Not saying it will happen but it could.

Very happy to be a member here. I remember when I joined here it was shortly after Lemmy.world's piracy feud and wanted to continue participating in and seeing !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ironically this ended up being the server I participated on most both in terms of posts and comments. Hard to believe it's been 2 years since I joined here.

Hmm I see. Kind of a shame really that they stopped using it, would make it super easy to seed content just by putting the torrent in your torrent client. I wonder why they couldn't have the videos encoded the new way but still use torrenting to seed. Oh well hopefully someone makes a standalone seeding program or plugin in the future.

How does it seed videos anyway? I'm not familiar with this feature of Peertube, is it using Bittorrent? if so one could just use any Bittorrent client assuming Peertube exposes the magnet link (they really should).

Did you actually read what I said or did you assume I'd say something specific and then just respond to that without reading...

Never say never. Especially since we're only in the beginning of the AI era, AI de-compilation is starting to become feasible, AI cracking probably will too.

Exactly, EVs just make more sense since they are more versatile in how you can charge them, you can charge them using a Gas generator (using that stockpile of Gasoline) or with a Solar setup if you're in it for the long term. A gas or Diesel car can only run on Gas and is basically useless once all the gas runs out or goes bad, and unlike electricity it's basically impossible to make Gasoline or Diesel yourself.

I think people have this unchallenged fantasy that they can stockpile Gas and it'll just last forever but it won't. Gasoline (yes Diesel too) is volatile and goes bad over time as the volatiles evaoprate, or as it oxidizes. Batteries if well taken care of can last for years, decades even. They are more sustainable long term than Gasoline is and ever will be.

The ideal one would probably be an EV that can handle off-roading, since you can charge an EV with Solar or a Generator, but like you said Gas infrastructure isn't something that can be relied on if the world is ending, or the economy is shot (takes much less to derail the petroleum industry than the apocalypse, anyone who was alive in America in the 70s can attest to that).

I like what you said though about a bike and that probably would be the go to thing for most applications. Since even though you can charge an EV from solar or Generator (I'm assuming at Level 1 because Level 2 is extremely intense) it'll take a long time and be a lot of effort. So the EV would probably only be for things you can't do with a Bike like moving things that are too heavy or bulky to carry in a cargo bike.

Because Archive.org are cucks unlike ArchiveTeam and seem to think that the current domain owner is the owner of the site and its historical content (why they render pages invisible/deleted if the current domain owner Blacklists the internet archive).

I'm not really sure if they're they're the biggest userbase of Bluray movies. I know lots of them do but also many don't, especially with the promotion of Digital-Only Game Systems and Also Streaming services. Most people I know who buy and use Blurays just have a basic Bluray player and aren't really gamers.
